have you tried bending the boosters . i once heard that if you bend the boosters you could tell if it has an ex or not . i was having trouble getting pokemon ex for a while and and came across a topic on this forum from a person that had a similar problem so i started reading . they said that the boosters that usually are a little harder to bend are the ones that have pokemon ex . at first i though that was kind of stupid and ignored it, but then after buying booster after booster without succsess i was desprate and decided to try it . i went to the store tried it with a whole bunch of boosters and guess what , i pulled 3 pokemon ex in a row from 4 boosters ! if you really want a pokemon ex you might want to try it but i dont recomment it . it s kind of annoying because you have to go trough a whole bunch of boosters and you cant really tell much of a diffrence when your bending them.
I've always bended the packs...That's how I got Latios ex d. But I still don't get it...Some people say soft boosters other says hard boosters...
i also recommend trying to trick your mind into not wanting an ex or at least not wanting them as much. i dont know why but im always getting things when i dont ask for them. theres been times where i just have given up on getting certain things and decide to appreciate what i have and deal with it . i tell myself that i should be grateful for what i have because there is probably more people out there in this world that are less fortunate and compared to them im the lucky one. then all of a sudden the next time i go to the store i get an ex! and even the next booster i get usually has an ex! but then as i get my hopes and expectations up all of a sudden i get the worst luck ever and start getting the worst cards. its weird.
Yeah, and that's how I got my Tyranitar ex d. But it's actually no diffrence, since you pick the booster first then only think you won't get it. It just depends on which pack you open first.
then there is also the other method ive tried that has worked well for me . i dont know why but i belive in that whole stupid luck thing . sometimes i just assume i have ran out of luck and decide to tell any of my siblings to pick out a booster pack for me . and guess what, it works almost every single time. my brother got me a booster that contained a charizard from base set, and my sister got me another charizard from base set, a charizard from crystal guardians, and 4 pokemon ex from fire red leaf green! the only problem is that they rarly ever want to do the favor for me.
My dad said he'll help me open a pack from my box of DF, so I let him pick one. Guess what he got? Flygon ex d! Hmm, maybe I should try this next time...
Oh yeah, I saw my friends mother helping him choose a booster because he has enough points to redeem one (our tourney uses points), and got a Vaporeon ex! Strange...
...yes im weird, what about it?
I'm kinda weird too!
